Place dough in an oiled bowl and let rise till it has doubled in size,
about 30-40 minutes.
Shape the dough into an oval 1/2 inch thick with a rolling pin. Make
decorative cuts on the top of the loaf with a sharp knife.
Place the loaf on an oiled baking sheet, brush with olive oil, and
sprinkle with coarse salt(also sprinkle with optional chopped olives
or chopped onions, if desired).Let rise 20 minutes.
Pre-heat oven to 450F degrees. Bake loaf for 20-30 minutes, until
bread is nicely browned.
Serve hot from the oven.
